Administering HCL VersionVault
Learn about performing administrative tasks for an HCL VersionVault community including managing software licenses, user and group accounts, VersionVault server and client hosts, shared data, and the network that connects them.
Periodic maintenance
Periodic attention to storage management and repository integrity is an important administrative function. These topics describe VOB and view storage management tasks, the checkvob utility, and the HCL VersionVault scheduler, which you can use to automate many periodic maintenance chores.
About checkvob
VOBs have complex internal and external relationships that can sometimes be disrupted by system or network failures or when a VOB is restored from backup. checkvob is a cleartool subcommand that can find, and in many cases fix, a variety of problems in these relationships.
Using checkvob in a UCM environment
checkvob has a special set of capabilities enabled by the –ucm option that can detect and correct many of the problems that may arise when one or more members of a related set of databases are restored from backup or are otherwise affected by a system or network failure.

Using checkvob in a UCM environment

checkvob has a special set of capabilities enabled by the –ucm option that can detect and correct many of the problems that may arise when one or more members of a related set of databases are restored from backup or are otherwise affected by a system or network failure.

UCM environments can create complex relationships among a project’s VOBs. Backing up related databases together describes ways in which you can schedule VOB backups to minimize restore-time inconsistencies between them. Restoring one or more members of a set of related databases describes ways in which you can use checkvob –ucm to find and fix problems after restoring one or more members of a set of related databases (or any time an unexpected system or network event has caused an inconsistency in database relationships in a UCM environment.)
